Brad's heart sank when he realized how indifferent Nadine was. He had always thought that no matter what happened, Nadine would be right there, waiting for him.
After all, hadn't she always claimed she loved him? Wasn't love supposed to last a lifetime? It had only been six years, so how could she have stopped loving him already?
As he gazed into her clear eyes, he realized that there was no longer any affection there—only distant indifference. It dawned on him that Alex was right. While he prided himself on being someone Nadine would stay devoted to, she had already begun to pull away and stopped loving him.
Had there been even a sliver of love left, she wouldn't have publicly announced she wanted a divorce.
After hearing her dismissive response, he felt a bitter taste in his throat. He couldn't accept it. This wasn't the outcome he wanted. Brad parted his thin lips and tried to plead his case, unwilling to give up just yet.
"Can't we just sit down and have a heart-to-heart like friends? Nadine, we're still married. We're a couple, aren't we?"
He thought she'd cave if he tugged at her heartstrings. But her lips curled into a sardonic smile, and her eyes shone with derision.
"Mr. Hamilton, if I remember correctly, you were the one who wanted a divorce in the first three years of our marriage, and you even went abroad to see Ms. Sawyer. Since you're so in love with her, why don't you just agree to the divorce?
"Honestly, you're a bit of a walking contradiction. You're tangled up with Ms. Sawyer, yet you refuse to divorce me. What, are you hoping to have two wives? Just so you know, men are only allowed to have one in our country. If you insist on having two wives, you'd be breaking the law and might just end up in jail."
